After two years working under George Lucas in the film’s editorial department, he attended USC’s prestigious Cinematic Arts program where he simultaneously earned an MFA degree while continuing to work in editorial as an assistant editor on James Cameron’s AVATAR.

After receiving multiple awards for his student films, he transitioned into commercial and documentary filmmaking in 2008. He has directed over 65 commercial works for clients such as Toyota, Samsung, Google, Pepsi, Microsoft, IBM, and Facebook and his campaigns have garnered millions of views, several Webby Awards, and a Cannes Lion.
